Eight years have passed since the world of rock lost one of its biggest profiles. The iconic Turbonegro frontman, Hank von Hell, left the stage and made clear that he would never enter it again. Fans around the world have ever since been yearning for a comeback, but Hank has persistently declared that this won’t happen. Until now. Like a phoenix, Hans-Erik Dyvik Husby has risen from the ashes, and from the fire Hank von Hell is re-born. The first single “Bum to Bum”, with the simple message to “shake ass and do what you’re supposed to do”, was released on Friday, August 31.

Living up to the title of their newest record, Against the Grain have proven themselves to be true warriors of the road. Blazing through the US with their brand of gear-shifting balls-to-the-wall music that incorporates all things heavy – ATG defies categorization as they seamlessly blur the lines of punk, rock, doom and thrash.
